Introduction

Dear Applicant!

Please start your application by answering the questions on the following page.
After having reviewed them, we will get back to you with individual follow-up questions.
Please note:

When we ask for a document (for instance registration papers), Upload original scanned documents.

If the information we ask for is on your webpage, in your statues or elsewhere, we still ask that you answer the question in the form, not just refer to other documents. Otherwise the application will take longer. Upload documents where necessary.

There is no limit to how long your answers can be, write what you find important.

If you don’t speak English we strongly recommend you find a translator. Using internet translation robots only creates misunderstandings and makes it difficult to verify the information.

If you don’t get a reply from us instantly, please don’t be alarmed. We are handling many applications from around the world and that sometimes takes time. All applications that come in get registered and we make sure to get back to everyone as soon as we can.

Step 4

MMA in your country

Dear Applicant!

What is often most difficult is the requirement to group together the majority of the MMA organizations and clubs.
This is the greatest challenge in most countries and something the IMMAF finds very important.
In order to grow the sport and eventually meet the demands of international organizations like SportAccord, the MMA community needs to be much more united.
Therefore we focus on ensuring that each country has the best starting point possible in this respect.
In order to process your application and service you as best we can, we need information from you regarding MMA in your country.
We therefore ask you to devote extra attention to this part.

Sincerely,
The IMMAF Team
